In Season 4.5, Brawlers have been upgraded by Riot as the system effect increases AD. Moreover, with the emergence of Shyvana, the Brawler system now has a super strong carry in the mid-game. As a result, this composition can compete for the top 1 spot against powerful team comps in Teamfight Tactics like Champions, Duelists…
However, many people mistakenly believe that without a Brawler Chosen, this composition is extremely weak and simply overlook it. This misconception arises from the fact that most current guides aim for 8 Brawlers. However, according to the player who climbed to Grandmaster using only Brawlers – DaddyTorby33, you don’t need a Chosen unit of this type to win. So what is his secret? Let’s find out.
Regarding the selection of Chosen units, DaddyTorby33 believes that you can buy any “chosen” unit at the 2 gold price. The reason is that it will make your composition stronger in the mid-game and help gamers secure a winning streak relatively easily. By level 8, you will sell that Chosen unit to look for stronger options and perfect your composition. Now if you don’t have a Brawler Chosen, tribes – systems like Dragon Tribe, Vanguard are good choices to purchase.
Regarding item selection, Bow is always a prioritized item when building the Brawler composition. This is a crucial item for creating Runaan’s Hurricane, Guinsoo’s Rageblade, or Infinity Edge for Shyvana. Along with Bow, you can choose the Cloak of Agility, BF Sword as general choices to prepare for Sett in the later stage.
Distributing items in the Brawler composition is also extremely important; Shyvana is naturally the unit that holds the attack speed items. For Sett, items like Infinity Edge, Hextech Gunblade, or Bloodthirster will help this unit deal maximum damage with his own abilities. You should also combine supportive items like Zeke’s Herald, Solari’s Charge, or Strength of the Ancients for Nunu or Cho’Gath.
Moving on to the team composition, the 8 Brawler threshold is always the key condition to achieve victory. Players can play in a “traditional” style with 8 Brawlers alongside Ornn to gain additional items. If you are lucky and possess a Gold Dragon, you can consider combining Dragon Soul and purchasing Aurelion Sol to achieve the 3 Dragon Tribe effect.
If you possess Shyvana in the Dragon Tribe form, stopping at 6 Brawlers is a reasonable choice. In fact, you could play a composition of 6 Dragon Tribe – 4 Brawlers at level 9 if you can upgrade Olaf or Aurelion Sol early.
A cool trick shared by gamer DaddyTorby33 is that the Dragon Tribe effect is always stronger than Forest Spirits. Therefore, if the player does not have Ornn, activating Dragon Tribe in the Brawler composition is a top priority. Even if you have Ornn, if this unit has finished 1-2 items, you should also sell it to activate the Dragon Tribe effect for Shyvana.
